Faculty and staff members have until Friday, Sept. 3, to take advantage of the free trial period at the University of Houston Campus Recreation and Wellness Center.

“We want to introduce new faculty and staff to the recreation center in the hopes that they enjoy it and join,” said Kathleen Anzivino, director of campus recreation.

Anzivino said the center’s comprehensive offerings and centralized facilities attract many new members. From aerobics classes to basketball to rock climbing, the center offers something for everyone.

“The swimming facilities, indoor track, fitness center, basketball courts, aerobic classes and other programs are all located in one building,” Anzivino said. “This adds a level of convenience for our members.”

During the trial period, all facilities and fitness programs are free to use, except the climbing wall, which costs $5. The CRWC also offers short-term day care for members’ children.

“For the activities and resources available, the membership prices are very reasonable,” Anzivino said. “We are retaining our current members and our new memberships continue to grow.”
